XRP Clings to $1.30–$1.33 Support as Geopolitics Drive Risk-Off Selling

Fresh ETF inflows and Hidden Road’s NSCC listing point to durable institutional interest.

Overview

  • XRP is trading around $1.34–$1.36 after US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets fueled risk aversion and sharp energy-price gains.
  • Traders view the $1.30–$1.33 demand zone as make-or-break, with a hold keeping a move toward ~$1.50 in play and a breakdown opening a measured target near ~$0.86.
  • US-listed spot XRP ETFs drew about $6.97 million in a single day, the biggest inflow in roughly a month, lifting total assets to around $1.02 billion, according to SoSoValue.
  • Hidden Road went live on the NSCC directory on March 2, strengthening Ripple Prime’s link to traditional clearing infrastructure.
  • Futures positioning has thinned, with open interest down about 70% in five months to $203 million, as CryptoQuant also reports roughly 38.8% of altcoins trading near all-time lows.
